Introduction
============

  MagiCServer++ is a framework for implementing efficient and flexible
  Internet server applications. It supports both connection-based TCP
  and connectionless UDP datagram protocols in a transparent fashion.

  The framework is implemented as a C++ library, which has been kept
  as independent from other libraries as possible, to make reuse
  easier. Error handling is done with error codes; exceptions are not
  used except for constructors. For data structures, low-level C data
  structures are used for most tasks. Simple support tools are
  provided for logging, threading, and queues.

  See MagiCServer++ Developer's Guide and Reference Manual for more
  details.
